Zlatan Ibrahimovic said as things stand he will leave Paris St Germain at the end of the season, joking that he would stay only if the club replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of him.

The 34-year-old was asked about his future after scoring four goals as Laurent Blanc’s side routed Troyes 9-0 to win a fourth straight Ligue 1 title with eight games to spare.

The PSG president, Nasser al-Khelaifi, said after the match he remained hopeful of keeping the Sweden striker, whose deal runs out at the end of the season. But Ibrahimovic, who has been linked with a number of clubs including Manchester United, looks to have his mind set on leaving the Parc des Princes.

“I always had a good relationship with the fans,” he said. “With the club, they always took care of me. I have always had good relationship with everyone. This is not in question. But, for now, I will not be at PSG next season. I have one and a half months left on my contract here. I will enjoy while I’m still here. What will happen next year I do not know but for now I will not be here.”

He joked: “I do not think they can change the Eiffel Tower by my statue, so... Even the leaders of the club cannot, I think. But if they can, I’ll stay here, I promise.”
